Hmm unless you're on during off hours or in some obscure zone, I don't think the low level population is all that abysmal. Even during the big dip we had a couple months ago I never had all that much trouble getting groups on my noob chars... you just have to go where the action is.
Be social, make friends, go out of your way to build relationships with people. This isn't World of Warcraft, a lot of your enjoyment in this game is going to require unwitting saps to help you do stuff.
